No Root? No ADB? No Problem. Sideload Wonder Machine does it all!

We are all well-versed with the limitations imposed by AT&T on its Android handsets. That being, you cannot install apps outside the Android Market, or from "unknown sources." It's really criminal for AT&T to strip this basic feature from Android. HTC stepped up, for a short while, enabling its HTC Sync online tool to circumvent this, thus allowing you to "sideload" apps. That was short-lived, however, as a few days later, the sideloading option magically disappeared. Well, okay we had one left resort, using ADB. However, many users run into difficulties when attempting to install ADB (Android SDK) on their computers. So what about a third-party tool that sideloads apps without the need for ADB? The clever folks over at Android Central have done just that, with their AndroidCentral Sideload Wonder Machine!

The Sideload Wonder Machine is a PC program that will allow you to install any app (*.apk) on any Android phone. The use of the Wonder Machine is 100% legal, and doesn't require root, ADB, or Android SDK! The program is available for free, and is even open-sourced. Check out the video below to see the Wonder Machine in action:
